Job satisfaction (t = 1.733 > 1.670; sig. 0.088 < 0.05) also shows a positive and significant influence. Simultaneous testing (F = 41.201 > 2.75; sig. 0.000 < 0.05) reveals that career development, motivation, and job satisfaction collectively have a positive and significant impact on nurses’ performance. Conclusion— Work motivation is the most dominant factor affecting nurses’ performance, while job satisfaction requires more attention. Pertamina Cirebon Hospital needs to improve job satisfaction effectively to further enhance nurses’ performance.
